I believe there is a Sprint Week point fund.

Don't blame USAC for certain drivers not showing up last night. Everyone had to decide what is in their best interest. Was it better to stay loyal to USAC & compete for the NDC fund? Or to run an extra race in the middle of an already hectic week?

If the same 30 or so drivers that raced for a USAC Sprint Week purse that paid $5,000 to win, $425 to start & $100 tow show up at another race in the middle of Sprint Week that pays far less ($3,000 to win, $200 to start) they risk USAC losing the ability to get the larger Sprint Week purse from the existing Sprint Week promoters.
